Daily Devotional. Shew me Thy Ways, O LORD; teach me Thy Paths. Lead me in Thy Truth, and teach me: for Thou art THE God of my Salvation; on Thee do I wait ALL the day. Psalm 25:4-5. Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. Romans 12:17. But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. Matthew 5:39. If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink: Proverbs 25:21. This all may be fairly easy when someone smacks you on the side of your head, but what do we do when Hamas comes running down the hall intent on killing you and all your family yelling, “Allahu Akbar”? THIS QUESTION, AND YOUR ANSWER ARE ABSOLUTELY BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR GOD. I make no comments here except to say, those days are coming to America and this might be a good time to figure out how you and your God will handle these types of situations. “Right or wrong”, many will immediately grab for a gun and drop them in their tracks. Yes, we are to provide (safety) for our families, but how does the Lord want YOU to handle this? You can come up with a hundred different scenarios of how you’ll handle what as to what calls for Prayer, and what calls for immediate action. We can all “prove” biblically both answers are “right” so pick your way to “be right”. Just posing the question Folks, maybe the answer is Biblically easy, maybe it’s gut wrenching hard. Stand and fight, or take Martyrdom? After Salvation, this is as Personal and Intimate as your Walk with the Lord will get. Only you can decide, as you WILL Live with the results. Man’s way, God’s Way, both, or otherwise, this is one we may not Know until the moment we are faced with an actual Decision needing to be made at that moment. This is a “rubber meets the road” challenge that no Christian ever looks forward to making. We can talk “Big Faith”, or maybe have Big Faith, the Lord Knows how you will, Be Blessed.
